I was already dubious, but that just convinced me to hop on board the Wachowski's Crazy Train instead this weekend. Or maybe that Jeff Bridges trainwreck - it looks vaguely similar to Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, so there's an off chance some campy fun might be hidden inside.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Or Jeremy Renner's naked backside?
Edit: What, so I watched the scene at the pond two or three times, so what?

I'm heading off to the Crazy Train with friends on Sunday. I expect there to be a lot of popcorn on the floor at the showing.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Charlie Jane's review of Kingsman on i09 says that it's "psychotically violent" and compared it to Kick Ass and the other Millar movie (Wanted, I think?).
See, I'm totally okay with the [spoilery] ending, because the description sounds cartoonishly OTT, but when the rest of the movie is described as "psychotically violent," like Kick Ass, I'm going to have to nope out of it. I can't handle that shit.
Maybe we will have to see the Wachowskis' Crazy Train after all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If you think you ever might want to see Jupiter Standing Around Until Channing Tatum Rescues Her*, see it in 3D on a really big screen so you can at least appreciate the pretty.
(* I kid, I kid, There's one scene where she climbs a ladder, so the actual title is quite apt.)

Trailer for Crimson Peak! [link]
Which is apparently being put before showings of 50 Shades (uggggggh) at Regal cinemas.
CRIMSON PEAK TRAILER. I have not been this excited about a movie in a long time. I'm flaily enough that I'm going to start researching who I need to contact to get a press kit, because I want to promote the film on GCS.

Ooooh, Crimson Peak looks so good! But also like I will need to see it at a matinee because I am a scaredy-cat.
I am convinced to see Jupiter Ascending this week, now do I go tomorrow first showing, or Tuesday after work (bargain night)? Hm. If I want IMAX it'd better be tomorrow.

Man, I watched that trailer, and flashed right back to ita's reaction to the use of Red Right Hand in Hellboy (Which was also a Del Toro movie. Huh.)
